James Cameron is already thinking about ‘Avatar’ 6 and 7, but plans to ‘train’ someone to direct them

‘Avatar: The Sense of Water’ hits theaters December 16, 13 years after the first installment revolutionized the film industry and became the highest-grossing film in history. From the beginning, Its visionary director, James Cameron, has plans to expand the Pandora universe with more sequels.but it wasn’t until now that technology allowed him to realize his vision the way he wanted.

Cameron announced a few years ago that he has four sequels planned, that is, up to “Avatar 5”. Parts 2 and 3 were filmed back-to-back, with the fourth episode partially filmed. ‘Avatar 3’ is guaranteed to premiere, as it’s pretty much over and Disney has it scheduled for December 2024. But the life of the franchise beyond that third part will depend on the box office, as Cameron recently warned, aware that the market has changed, especially in recent years due to the pandemic. Initial forecasts put its US opening at around $175 million, but its run after the opening weekend is crucial, and nothing is guaranteed.

However, the director can’t stop looking to the future and is already thinking about what could come after “Avatar 5”. In a new report from The Hollywood Reporter on the making of ‘The Water Sense,’ Cameron reveals it He already has ‘Avatar 6’ and ‘Avatar 7’ planned, although he believes he won’t be directing themInstead, he will hand over the reins of his creation to other filmmakers to continue his vision.

“By then I’ll be 89”says the director. “Obviously, I won’t be able to make ‘Avatar’ movies indefinitely, due to the amount of energy it takes. I should train someone to do that, because no matter how smart you are as a director, you don’t know how to do it.”. Cameron, now 68, also noted that he plans to make another five or six films over the rest of his career, three of which will be sequels to “Avatar.” Now it all depends on how ‘The Sense of Water’ and ‘Avatar 3’ (even without an official title) fare at the box office, but what is clear is that, if the public is interested, the saga could follow in the footsteps of ‘Star Wars’ and continues until we all retire.
